"We're in early discussions for a spinoff," Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan confirmed to Vulture. "In my dream version of it, I would help create the pilot and arc out the first season and then basically transition away and let Peter Gould, who created the character, run it."

Asked how the spin-off would compare to the original tonally, Gilligan replied: "We're still trying to figure out whether it's a half-hour or an hour. It's lighter than Breaking Bad, but it's not a sitcom.

"I have a hard time with most modern sitcoms because the structure is so self-limiting. You have to have a laugh every 11 seconds, which is so artificial."
